Really? Did we really lose that game? Ugh. Well, I actually had to head out after the 7th inning because of work issues. But at least got to see the two homeruns by Ethier and Blake.
We arrived really early in order to secure a Matt Kemp bobblehead. I really like Matt and think he will be an All Star next year and wanted to support him. I have briefly met him a couple of times as well and he was always really nice. Plus this was my first bobblehead game ever. We arrived before the gates to the parking or the stadium even opened and had to wait in a couple of lines. I bought some cheap Top Deck seats from Stubhub a couple of weeks ago and must say that it is sort of strange to handover a printed 8.5x11 piece of paper to the ticket counter guy to scan - it feels like a scam. I really do like sitting in the Top Deck. There are some great views of LA behind the stadium and the vantage point is really nice.

Chad Billingsley stopped the free-fall, at least for a night, guiding the Dodgers to a 7-3 win over the Cardinals and ending a season-high four game losing streak. It was a team effort with each starter collecting a hit and seven players recording a run batted in. Since 1900, the Dodgers and Cardinals have played 1,987 games with Brooklyn/Los Angeles holding a slim, 994-993 edge all-time.

I recently realized that I now have over 50 prospects that I would like to do profiles on for next year, and that's on top of what I have already done (or am about to do) this year, which total about 40 or so. Sigh. I wish I had more time. Somebody pay me enough money to make this my job (hint, hint).
Anyway, on to the prospects:

ESPN.com's Jayson Stark hears that Vicente Padilla has become "a consideration" for the Dodgers now that a liner to Hiroki Kuroda's head has further depleted the team's rotation. The Dodgers are talking with Padilla's agent, Paul Kinzer, and we could hear of a deal this afternoon. The Dodgers, who would only be responsible for about $100k if they add Padilla...
